The article discusses the importance of computerizing school libraries and the need to provide information to users using digital technologies. It emphasizes the use of modern methods such as advertising and image building to popularize the library. The corporate style is identified as an essential element in the formation of the library's image and its identity as an information institution. The study examines the current state of digitization in domestic libraries, revealing a gradual adaptation to the digital media space. Most Ukrainian libraries are found to be at the research and testing stage of digital technologies, which precedes the active phase of digital modernization. Key problems that hinder library digital modernization are identified, and five levels of digital modernization are distinguished. The article asserts that the effective use of internal and external resources of libraries can be achieved through the implementation of modern library technologies. Equipping secondary educational institutions' libraries with computer equipment and modern software allows for a new approach to the organization of library processes. The use of modern information technologies in all areas of library activity is expected to bring library services in the school to a new level, making it more attractive to modern users.
